While in Brazil, the Biebs got his tag on (among other things), a serious act of vandalism there!

Well, police may not have been able to arrest Justin while he was there, but that didn't mean the case was closed!

Seeing as how he provided plenty of evidence on his own Instagram, we're not surprised police decided to charge him with "defacing a building or urban monument by graffiti or other means."

Justin may have thought he was cleared to spray where he did, but according to the statement from Rio De Janeiro police, he painted outside the lines! The statement said:

"Authorization granted by the city did not extend to other locations."

Apparently Justin was only authorized to paint on a designated graffiti wall in the Morro do Vidigal, but he decided to and tag a local hotel!

Well, unfortunately for the Biebs, ignorance of the law is not a legitimate defense! If he ever wants to return to Brazil, Justin may have to face some serious consequences, from a hefty fine up to a year in prison!

The brazilian government would save money if they just cleaned the paint themselves. That country can't be wasting cash jailing people for petty crimes. Its not a superpower. They have plenty of real criminals to chase.

Re: xenOxiTronica – Stupid bitch whore, they should toss the little bitch-ass motherfucker in jail. If he deserves it, he deserves it, and, if anything, they should make the Biebz clean the mess he left in Rio and pay for whatever shit he needs to do said cleaning.

This is laughable to say the least… Brazil has hit a new low it seems, bad enough that it can't or wont deal with it's own notoriously corrupt police forces, now it's attention has been focused on Justin Bieber.. A phone call and a big fat check is all it will take to make this go away.. As if they are truly serious about this, with the amount of crime there and that isn't including what the police and military forces have committed. Now they committed themselves to bringing a 19 year old to account? A "hefty fine" indeed, more like a big fat cheque to either a police chief or someone within the federal government… This so called crime will disappear within a week at most, just watch! And then Justin will be publicly welcomed to return.. !

Re: ok_then –
First of all 18 years old is the legal age in Brazil, so it's a crime and he's able to suffer it's consequences just like he was able to party at stripper clubs and all that shit. That Justin shit it's not being noticed here cuz really, every fucking country has more issues to deal with than a spoiled brat that left his country to fuck up ours. But before he was officialy charged discussions about the event were common and we're not happy with it. I'm not against graffiti at all if you have the building owner's approval, but it's so ridiculous that Bieber even got any approval when our youth suffers so much oppression when graffiting. Anyway, we've got bigger troubles like EVERY other country has it's own, but that does not mean we're gonna close our eyes to offenses like that, especially from a person with so much visibility.

FINALLY! At least the Brazilians know how to deal with this creature. No favouritism or light treatment just because he's a Celebrity. Throw the bitch and jail and leave him there for all time. Get him out of the music business.

Oh, and naturally, Bieber's fangirls are gonna be busy thinking up excuses for this.

my neighbor's mother makes $82 every hour on the internet. She has been without a job for eight months but last month her income was $12528 just working on the internet for a few hours. see this here… w­ww.Bu­zz19.c­om

Re: Liat – Maybe so, but he still broke a law, regardless of how trivial it seems. It could have been a misunderstanding, but from what we've seen of him, I wouldn't be surprised if this had just been an issue of entitlement. He should have respected their laws and boundaries, but he seemingly chose not to. Yes, Brazil has better things to worry about, but fair is fair. It's refreshing to see a celebrity not star treatment for once.

I call this story BS. If he was going to be prosecuted they know where he stays in Brazil, they know where he is, why didn't they go and arrest him then? More stupid publicity for this little untalented bastard.

This makes no sense, if he knew he could face consequences for moving spots then why would he post pictures of it on instagram? Plus the severity of the "charges" seem a little extreme don't you think? Just more people trying to make him look like an insensitive jerk, when he's not.

This is almost funny. My wife is Brazilian. We travel there often. The country is awash in graffiti. It's all over the place (in the poorer neighborhoods, that is). Try it where the people with money live and no one will hear from you again if the police catch up with you. Bieber must have done his artwork in the wrong side of town.

Re: The Truthinator – hey they are trying to decide to have him pay a fine or not. Their he going to pay the fine. If he knew it wasn't illegal but he did have permission on the other wall. He going to pay the fine and it will be the end of it.

A little history lessons for the kids: graffiti is as old as mankind; it was not a crime until recently. The cave man, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Mayas, and others painted on walls. Justin Bieber, I know you will be shocked, did not invent graffiti. It's a shame people are making such a big deal over a mistake, if it was such.

Re: goldenyearsgal – I am sure if it was your favorite artist you would feel differently; but since it's someone you don't like, hang him! there are people who commit worse crimes here who get less time such as pedos and murderers[if they are teens]

Re: xenOxiTronica – Wow, your level of ignorance is overwhelming. Brazil is a huge, rich country, where unluckily, resources are poorly distributed. Still, it is the 8th largest economy in the world. It IS a superpower.

Re: Makka – Brazil Is just another south american country with an outrageous homicide rate and no invention. The hillbilly state of alabama was granted more patents than the entire country of Brazil in recent years. They file few patents for new inventions and technology compared to the top 3 asian countries and the usa (japan being the most inventive country on earth.. beating america). It has a homicide rate of 25 per 100,000 people making it more than twice as violent as russia (the most violent non Inuit european country). My dads region of europe only has a homicide rate of 1.5. His country…. less than 1. Brazil is a mess…and its a mess because they think they arent one. Nobodies fixes what they dont know needs fixing.

Re: The Truthinator – Yeah right! You are so sick of hearing about him, yet you are on here blasting him every chance you get. How come you have never apologized for all the comments you have made about him for things that were eventually proven to bogus and nothing ever came of it? Simple, you are so filled with hate for him you automatically think he is guilty of everything negative said about him. What a life you must lead to have so much hate in your life! Pathetic!!!

all this for a wall that a gallon of paint a roller and 5 bucks to pay a homeless person (they have lots there) would erase the fact it was ever there. really, in the time it took to get this story up and going it could have been repainted.. stupid. spray paint on a wall is not forever. get a grip people. and what do they say? oh ya, there is no such thing as bad publicity.

If Justin is posting pictures of his work on Instagram than what he's doing is fine. Leave him alone!! He bought the property probable so if it's his property than he's fine. I swear that's all you guys want to do is hate on him
